We were at the NYU School of Law for the New York City premiere of the new documentary UNZIPPED: An autopsy of American Inequality written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Colin K. Gray and
Singer-songwriter Rachel Grae walks the red carpet. Grae is known for her vulnerable, ripped-from-her-diary songwriting and hopes to help those in need with future music projects.
Television personalities, The Potash Twins, Adeev and Ezra, were present on the red carpet as fans supporting UNZIPPED. They share their views on housing inequality and wanting to push the ball forward to get the going on the work that needs to be done.
A short panel discussion was held after the film. It was moderated by NY Times housing reporter Mahir Zaveri with director Colin K. Gray, NYU Furman Center members, Molly Park from the NYC Department of Social Services, and Kirk Goodrich from NYSAFAH, followed by a reception to discuss the importance of this matter further.
Watch UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality here. You will want to get to talking about it. With many ways to get involved, you can check out the affordable housing impact campaign they have built called #raisetheroof. At the impact hub, you can find learning resources, and volunteer opportunities, donate, or enter your zip code in their interactive zip code tracker to find housing services or organizations in your community.
The art campaign Express Yourself encourages people to share stories about what home means to them because it can mean many different things to everyone. You can submit your picture or a work of art expressing what home means to you here. The critical thing is getting people involved and lending their voices to this movement. Keep the movement growing.
